This has been on YouTube a while but is new to me. Any info welcome...

Always liked that song. Wish it didn't sound so dull on the record.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
It has one of the worst mixes I've ever heard. Sounds like it's coming from underwater.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
Seriously, what were they thinking, muffling the vocals like that?
I was glad to see the song appear in the BAD Files, hoping for a decent mix at last. Imagine my disappointment when I learned it was a completely different track.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
The snare drum and synths are unfeasibly loud in comparison to the vocals. That's what makes it sound so uneven.

Applecart is a great song. The mix on Tighten Up is a bit bland for me in general. Mick's guitars and vocals are both too buried in the soup.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
Some really great songs in my opinion on that album just let down by the mix. If it had had a more rock 'n' roll mix we would all be praising it. I'm still a fan of it though.TeddyB Not Logged In wrote: ↑28 Aug 2018, 5:53pmApplecart is a great song. The mix on Tighten Up is a bit bland for me in general.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
One thing I will say about the mix on Tighten Up, it is not great at all but Mr Walker is rendered unlistenable. It sounds nothing like the rest of the tracks on the album.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
Yeah, I watched it at the time and also tonight. It was a shame they never had much mainstream success after that. I thought they were set for a decent run in the charts but it never quite happened for them.Silent Majority wrote: ↑06 Sep 2018, 2:34pmEmc2 was just on retro totp.

Yeah, it's easy to forget the debut album was on the UK chart for over 6 months, a very decent run.Silent Majority wrote: ↑06 Sep 2018, 3:32pmThey make a lot more sense in context.Heston wrote: ↑06 Sep 2018, 3:16pmYeah, I watched it at the time and also tonight.
